day of September, 2000 by and between, POPstar Global Communications Inc., a
business entity organized as an international business company under the laws of
the British Virgin Islands, ("POPstar"), and TransNexus, Inc., a business entity
organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A.,
("TransNexus").
Recitals
POPstar intends to establish an Internet Protocol ("IP") communications
clearinghouse service to enable IP communication service providers acting as
"Originators" to transmit IP communications to other IP communication service
providers acting as a "Terminator." POPstar has selected TransNexus, Inc. to
operate the Clearinghouse services on its behalf as the POPstar Clearinghouse
Service's independent, and third party settlement agency. TransNexus will
provide the services set forth in Section 1 (the "Services") to the POPstar
Clearinghouse Service. The clearinghouse described in this Agreement will be
known as the POPstar Clearinghouse Service (the "Clearinghouse").
In exchange for providing the Services, TransNexus will receive service fees.
TransNexus will also be reimbursed for all expenses incurred on behalf of the
Clearinghouse, including banking fees, device enrollment fees and other
expenses, as set forth in the Agreement. In exchange for providing clearinghouse
services, POPstar will receive service fees, including price arbitrage, and or
other such fees as defined by POPstar, as set forth in this agreement.
A glossary of certain terms used in this Agreement is set forth in Attachment 1.
Attachment 1 and the other attachments (and any amendments thereto) are integral
parts of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN
POPSTAR AND TRANSNEXUS AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.2 TransNexus will maintain a Clearinghouse Service Provider account for
POPstar. This account will monitor the sum of service fees earned by the
POPstar Clearinghouse and any transfers of cash from or to the POPstar
Clearinghouse Account.
1.3 TransNexus will maintain an account for each Clearinghouse Customer of
POPstar Clearinghouse Service that will monitor the activity of the

the customer and making settlement payments to the customer. This account
is known as the "Clearinghouse Customer Account." The Clearinghouse
Customer Account is more fully described in Section 5.
1.4 TransNexus will maintain the POPstar Clearinghouse in such a way that an
Originator customer in the POPstar Clearinghouse Service seeking to

participating in the Clearinghouse Service. Upon receiving such a query,
TransNexus will securely authenticate the communication by returning a
secure token and up to 3 (three) IP addresses of Terminators capable of
completing the communication and the exchange of traffic. The Originator
will then contact the Terminator to complete the call and both will return
usage indications (call detail records) back to TransNexus.
1.5 For each connection between an Originator customer and Terminator customer
in the Clearinghouse Service, TransNexus will gather and assemble call
detail records ("CDRs"). The CDRs will detail the duration and other items
concerning each IP voice and fax transmission. TransNexus will maintain
detailed clearinghouse accounts for each customer and will reconcile and
rate CDRs for activity generated by IP Communications using the POPstar
Clearinghouse Service.
1.6 TransNexus will collect funds on behalf of the POPstar Clearinghouse from
Originator customers and make settlement payments to the POPstar
Clearinghouse or Terminator customers on behalf of the POPstar
Clearinghouse for IP communications in accordance with this Agreement.
1.7 POPstar will be responsible for establishing and providing to TransNexus
the rates that will determine the charge per minute for origination or
termination communication traffic to any destination served by POPstar
Clearinghouse Service. Rates must be provided by POPstar to TransNexus as
detailed in Attachment 6 to this Agreement. Rates will be effective within
48 hours of receipt by TransNexus. Origination rates and termination rates
must be established by POPstar for each IP telephony device of every
Clearinghouse Customer.

pricing and other confidential Information of the Clearinghouse Customers
from other participants in the POPstar Clearinghouse Service. All

TransNexus/POPstar Clearinghouse Service Agreement - Attachment 5
PRICING AND RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
The following states Pricing and Risk Management Rules of POPstar Clearinghouse
Service.
1. POPstar must provide to TransNexus a sales and use tax exemption
certificate, and a copy of the Tax Identification Number and Country of
Registration.
2. Security deposits must be in the form of cash via electronic funds
transfer. These security deposits will be held as restricted cash and
deposited with Bank of America Georgia. Each customer will not have any
right to interest earned on these amounts. TransNexus may require the
amount to be adjusted to reflect changes in the customer's actual billed
amounts.
The initial security deposit required is as follows:
Net Originator Customers:
$1,000 US Dollars
Termination Only Customers:
$0 US Dollars
The deposit amount is expected to cover a minimum of 10 days activity for
the customer. After the end of the current calendar quarter of operation
with POPstar Clearinghouse Service, the customer may be required to furnish
additional funds to maintain this 10 day minimum. In no event will the
deposits required be less than what is stated above. Deposits are fully
refundable, less banking and / or outstanding usage fees, with 30 days
written notice to POPstar Clearinghouse Service
The formula to calculate deposit requirements for Net Originator
Clearinghouse Customers is:
(Expected Originator traffic in minutes for the past month* Average
Origination Fee per minute) - Net Terminator Revenue of Customer for the
past month.
3. It should be noted that current financial funds transfer time around the
world varies significantly. To aid the customer and to avoid suspension of
service, TransNexus has developed several methods to assist POPstar's
Clearinghouse customers in maintaining sufficient funds with TransNexus at
all times.
3.1 Upon establishment of usage, patterns TransNexus will provide the customer
with the expected next months advance fee via email. This notification will
include a statement of

the Clearinghouse Customers current activity (1st of the month through
24.00 GMT the 15th) and will be posted via e-mail by the 16th day of the
current month.
3.2 TransNexus will also establish a Notification limit of 10 days aggregate
advance fees. Once it is determined that the customer has ten or less days
of advance fees, TransNexus will automatically generate an e-mail message
to the primary and secondary business contact providing notification of
needed funding.
3.3 TransNexus will pay by the 5th business day of the next month all net
amounts owed to Clearinghouse Customers and to the Clearinghouse Service
Provider.
3.4 The Clearinghouse Customer's primary or appointed contact may monitor their
account balances with POPstar Clearinghouse via the Web User Interface. The
Clearinghouse Customer Account balance information will include Origination
Fees and Termination Fees associated with call detail records received by
the POPstar Clearinghouse within 60 minutes of the time of inquiry.
3.5 Pay in advance for a certain period's expected origination prices. Net and
Originator only customers will be required to fund advance fees to
TransNexus.
3.6 TransNexus provides the internal infrastructure operations for the POPstar
Clearinghouse Service for voice and fax communications. Accordingly,
TransNexus expects to receive remuneration for these services. Also, the
Terminator Clearinghouse Customers expect to receive compensation from the
POPstar Clearinghouse Service for termination of calls from Originator
Clearinghouse Customers. Therefore, a basic description of fees charged by
TransNexus to the POPstar Clearinghouse Service and Clearinghouse Customers
is shown below:
3.7 TransNexus Transaction Fee: For each IP communication transaction
authorized by the POPstar Clearinghouse Service, the Originator
Clearinghouse Customer will pay an Origination Fee to the POPstar
Clearinghouse for authorization and call routing to a Terminator
Clearinghouse Customer who will complete the IP communication. The total
Origination Fee is price per minute times the number of seconds (rounded to
the nearest whole second) from start of the IP communication transaction to
completion or termination of the IP communication. TransNexus will charge
and collect the Origination Fee from the Originator Clearinghouse Customer
on behalf of the POPstar Clearinghouse. TransNexus will retain a TransNexus
Transaction Fee per IP communication from the Origination Fee. The
TransNexus Transaction fee per IP communication will be equal to 10% of the
total Origination Fee.

TransNexus.

customer, or added to the amounts due from the Clearinghouse Customers on
the 1st day of the next month. As the statement will be sent electronically
to the Primary Business Contact, it is deemed received when sent.

consulting fees or other fees. Current Banking Fees are as follows:

TransNexus/POPstar Clearinghouse Service Agreement - Attachment 6
Instructions to Create Rate Plan File
General
This document provides a set of instructions for creating a set of rates to be
associated with each enrolled gateway. A separate file must be created for each
combination of the following:
o Device Name (Gateway ID)
o Service Type (Voice vs. Fax)
o Traffic Type (Originating vs. Terminating)
Thus, a unique file of originating rates must be created for Device A that is
intended to originate voice traffic. If Device A is also intended to terminate
voice traffic, a separate file of terminating rates must be generated.
The customer is required to submit a CSV file. Whether the file is generated
using Excel or any other spreadsheet/editor is irrelevant to the provisioning
system. The customer is free to assign any file name to the CSV file, but it
must follow the UNIX file naming convention. Once created, the CSV file should
be e-mailed to [email protected]. The e-mail subject must be:
"provision:a:b:c:d" where a is the customer (subscriber) ID, b is the gateway
ID, c is the service type and d is the traffic type.
For example: provision:1234567890:209999999:V:T

(1) This is a listing of predefined regions for your convenience in setting up a
single rate for a grouping of countries. For example, in the rate plan file you
can create one rate row for AF (Africa) and separate rate rows for Egypt and
Libya. All countries in the Africa region would inherit the rate for AF except
Egypt and Libya. This prevents having to create multiple rows for multiple
countries in the same zone with the same rate. Please note these lists may not
include the latest and most accurate E.164 country codes. The customer has the
responsibility to refer to ITU (www.itu.ch) for accurate country codes. Any
countries not included in these lists are not considered part of a predefined
region, and the number string will have to be defined in the Country Code and
City Code/NPA-NXX columns of the rate plan file.
